Ingredients

  • boneless skinless chicken breasts
    2 lb
  • ground cumin
    1 ½ tsp
  • salt
    1 tsp
  • black pepper
    ½ tsp
  • chili powder
    ½ tsp
  • cayenne pepper
    ½ tsp
  • oregano
    ½ tsp
  • ground coriander
    ½ tsp
  • chicken broth
    4 c
  • onion
    1 large
  • garlic
    3 clove
  • fire roasted mild diced green chiles

    2x4 oz

    2 can
  • bay leaf
    1
  • cannellini beans

    white kidney beans

    2 can
  • can pinto beans
    1 can
  • corn
    1 ½ c
  • block cream cheese
    ¾
  • Fresh cilantro

    for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of a 7 qt slow cooker pot.

  2. 2

    Season with cumin, salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne, dried oregano, and coriander.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken broth, onions, garlic, green chiles, and top with one bay leaf. (I like to add the beans in later with the corn but if you like really tender beans you can add them now.)

  4. 4

    Cover with lid and cook for 6-8 hours on LOW or 3-4 hours on HIGH, until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender. During the last 2 hours of cooking time, add the beans and thawed corn and continue cooking.

  5. 5

    Ladle about 2 cups of chili (including the beans) into a food processor or blender, add the cream cheese, and pulse until well combined and thickened. (You can use an immersion blender instead if you have one.) Then pour the blended mixture back into the slow cooker.

  6. 6

    Remove the cooked chicken and transfer to a chopping board. Shred the chicken into bite-sized chunks using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine.

  7. 7

    Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, lime wedges, tortilla strips or chips, and sliced avocado. Enjoy!
